Bug 1412326

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #961709 +++

Description of problem:
cscope should include the .el support file for emacs.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
yum info cscope

Resumen     : C source code tree search and browse tool
URL         : http://cscope.sourceforge.net
Licencia     : BSD and GPLv2+
Descripción :cscope is a mature, ncurses based, C source code tree browsing tool.  It
           : allows users to search large source code bases for variables, functions,
           : macros, etc, as well as perform general regex and plain text searches.
           : Results are returned in lists, from which the user can select individual
           : matches for use in file editing.




What's weird is that rpm -ql cscope shows:
rpm -ql cscope

Those are ghosted files, they exists for ownership purposes in the cscope manifest, but aren't actually carried.  They are created (as symlinks to the /usr/share/cscope/xcscope.el file) when the xemacs and emacs packages are installed automatically. The error you see above, just means that emacs and xemacs aren't installed on your system.

Hi

I do have emacs-nox installed.

Reopening this bug as it affects emacs-nox indeed.  I am attaching a patch that fixes the issue.  It should be fairly trivial to back/forwardport it to other Fedora releases (it applies against F20).

--- Additional comment from Sergio Durigan Junior on 2014-09-30 02:30:47 EDT ---

This patch fixes the issue by correctly installing the xcscope.el link when using emacs-nox as well.

This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will
be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

This bug is fixed already, but I think the maintainer forgot to create the Bodhi updates?

--- Additional comment from Fedora End Of Life on 2015-02-18 06:11:23 EST ---

Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
